'''Vladimir "Vlad" Glebov''' (Russian: Владимир Глебов) is a major character in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], appearing early during GTA IV's storyline.
== Description ==
Vlad is prominently a 41-year old Russian loan shark operating in [[Hove Beach]], [[Broker]]. Feudalistic in his mannerism, he tends to group people into social classes and treat lowly people as "[[wp:Serfdom|serfs]]", who are obligated to do his bidding; as he is a selfish hypocrite. Vlad prefers to call [[Niko Bellic]] a "[[wp:Yokel|yokel]]" or "[[Roman Bellic|Fatty Roman's]] Cousin" instead of his actual name, but fails to successfully dominate Niko due to Niko's witty defiance, with he and Roman calling him "Vladdy" or "Vladdy Boy" back. Glebov owns a Russian bar called [[Comrades Bar|Comrades]] in the neighborhood, and drives a sky blue [[Marbelle]], as seen in the cut-scene for [[Clean Getaway]] and the chase sequence in [[Uncle Vlad]]. It is implied that Vlad is a heavy drinker, abuses cocaine, and is a [[wp:womanizer|womanizer]].
Glebov also attempts to increase his status with the other Russian gangsters like [[Mikhail Faustin]] by doing collections for them. He is very vain, even though Faustin thought he was useless. He also employs Niko, initially to help enforce his protection racket but also for low-level assassinations, including that of [[Ivan Bytchkov]]. He also threatens Roman constantly and regularly fails to protect him from the [[Albanians|Albanian Mafia]], despite promises to the contrary. Early during his appearance, Glebov is been depicted attempting to coax [[Mallorie Bardas]] to abandon Roman in favor of him, with very limited success.
==Death==
After Niko learns that Vlad has been having an affair with Mallorie Bardas behind his cousin Roman's back, Niko confronts Vlad at [[Comrades Bar]]. After a brief chase through the neighborhood, Niko [[Uncle Vlad|shoots]] Vlad in the left eye under the [[Algonquin Bridge]] before tossing his corpse into the [[Humboldt River]], ignoring the fact that his boss, [[Mikhail Faustin]], will certainly track down the man responsible for his murder. Mikhail later admits that Vlad was an idiot, and the only reason he was still been employed in his organization was that Mikhail "fucks his (Vlad's) sister." Since Vlad has not been found after being killed, the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|LCPD]] database lists him as "missing".

*In Russia, the nickname for Vladimir is Vova and Vlad is for Vladislav. It may be that "Vlad" is just easier to pronounce for Americans.

*In the startup cinematic of [[It's Your Call]], Vlad threatens Niko by saying that he would cut his head off and post a video of it on the internet if he wouldn't stop staring. This could be a reference to the graphic video where Russian neo-Nazis behead a person.
*Also, in [[Easy Fare]] he threatens Niko again, saying he will "burst one of his eyeballs". Ironically, this is the way he is executed in Uncle Vlad.
*Although Vlad is Russian, he uses the same term for cabbages in the joke he tells to his buddies at Comrade's in "Uncle Vlad" that Roman uses in the opening cutscene of "The Cousins Bellic".

Death

After Niko learns that Vlad has been having an affair with Mallorie Bardas behind his cousin Roman's back, Niko confronts Vlad at Comrades Bar. After a brief chase through the neighborhood, Niko shoots Vlad in the left eye under the Algonquin Bridge before tossing his corpse into the Humboldt River, ignoring the fact that his boss, Mikhail Faustin, will certainly track down the man responsible for his murder. Mikhail later admits that Vlad was an idiot, and the only reason he was still been employed in his organization was that Mikhail "fucks his (Vlad's) sister." Since Vlad has not been found after being killed, the LCPD database lists him as "missing".
